Beauty Written by Anna Philbin 1 B LIST You’ve been hiding your body away for the last six months, hibernating in a layer of fuzz, but it’s time to start “summerising”, which can only start with the dreaded hair removal Sometimes I think I’ve mastered silky legs, and then within minutes, evil red bumps appear, or the in-grown hairs arrive a couple of days later. If it’s a problem, I’ve had it! Here are some solutions I’ve found along the way. Threading - is great for eyebrows and the upper lip, or even the whole face if you fancy it. Yes, it feels a bit strange having someone come at your face with a bit of cotton in their mouth, but it isn’t too painful, it works really well and it doesn’t bring my face up in teeny little spots which can happen after waxing. Try a rose water to soothe the skin afterwards. Laser Hair Removal - I’ve tried laser hair removal, and whilst it was great for me for about a year, it didn’t really last. However, friends and celebrities have all had great success and would swear it’s worth the money, so I shouldn’t knock it. The learning is, research a good clinic and know that there is a huge difference between laser and IPL, as well as differences in quality when it comes to the many brands offering these treatments. Waxing - Most of my friends absolutely swear by waxing, it’s reasonably priced and if you find the perfect beautician for you, she will be with you for life! Some of my friends drive miles for their bikini wax! Whether you choose Brazilian, Hollywood or just plain simple bikini, you’re guaranteed to have a much neater bikini line than you could ever do yourself, and it’s quick. Invest in a great after care product that will help any potential bumps think twice about reappearing! Shaving - My shaving secret tips - soak in a warm bath beforehand to open the pores and soften the skin. Always use a new razor and warm it under the tap first. Then lather in coconut oil and away you go! Afterwards, apply Australian Tea Tree Body Lotion to the area. Use a good exfoliator inbetween shaves - I love Kiehl’s gentle exfoliating body scrub - and, for added brownie points, body brush daily. 1.
